Neeson's voice was calming, yet exciteable when it needed to be. I loved being able to hear the train station noises and the ringing of the bell. These nosies brought to life the feeling of Christmas and got me into the spirit instantly. A heart-warming story that reminds us all of gifts from the heart!

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0395389496, Hardcover)The Polar Express book and CD gift set is a charming collage of enchanting sounds, lyrical words, and climatic storytelling. Read by Academy Award-winning actor William Hurt, author Chris Van Allsburg's children's classic--a winner of the Caldecott Medal--is accompanied by a handsome melody and the sweet sounds of sleigh bells, train whistles, and spirited cheers from hundreds of Santa's elves. The composition stirs the listener's imagination, bringing to life the magic of Christmas. Coupled with a hardcover book (and a special gift from Santa's sleigh), listeners can read along and gaze at luminescent drawings page after page. The Polar Express touches the imagination of those "who truly believe." (Running time: 11 minutes, one cassette) --Cate Bick(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:22 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
